Optical properties of conductive carbon-based nanomaterials
2016
The interaction of light with carbon nanomaterials is the main focus of this thesis. I explore several nanostructured systems involving different allotropes of carbon, and characterize them both electrically, if applicable, and optically. Special attention is paid to search for plasmon-like excitations on the systems, or utilizing surface plasmons on characterization. The first objective is to achieve control of carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity with surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which resulted in the first CNT field-effect transistor (FET) that can be gated definitively with SPPs. The second objective is the investigation of optical properties of various thin carbon-based molecular n…
Microfluidics for the spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes
2013
We have successfully finalized the process of creating small microfluidic channels on glass chips, having 4 inlet/outlet holes for liquid flow. The fabricated channel structures can be as complex as electron beam lithography can make them. Working channels have the minimum width and depth of 4 µm x 4 µm. The microfluidics is controlled with Fluigent MFCS, enabling pressures up to 345 mbar. Liquid flow rates range from 40 pl/s up to 1.2 nl/s. Objects in such small channels still run with channel speeds of tens of micrometers or even millimeters per second. With a T-junction structure, droplets of water/oil can be formed and controlled. The system is coupled with a Raman microscope, enabling …
"Viktig informasjon om rettigheter og plikter!” : en diskursanalyse av NAVs informasjonsbrosjyre om arbeidsavklaringspenger
2013
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME504 Universitetet i Agder 2013 The study is based on a qualitative study of the information brochure of WorkWelfare Allowance (AAP) authored by The Norwegian Labour and WelfareAdministration (Nav). The aim of the study is to uncover various discourses hidden inthe text. The investigation is based on the clients introduction to his own economicalbenefit in the information brochure of AAP. The research question in the study iswhich discourses are made visible in the text.The study is based on critical discourse analysis. The method identifies and highlightsmeaningful expressions appearing in the prospectus, both linguistic structures andconsequential as i…
Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy
2021
Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…
Mechanisms for coping with individual economic disturbances caused by a pandemic among creative industry representatives
2022
2019. gada 31. decembrī Pasaules Veselības organizācija (PVO) tika informēta par nezināmas izcelsmes vairākiem atipiskas pneimonijas gadījumiem Uhaņas pilsētā (Ķīnas Hubei provincē). Pneimonijas iemesls vēlāk tika apstiprināts kā koronavīrusa (SARS-CoV-2) izraisīts akūts respirators sindroms, un slimība ieguva nosaukumu coronavirus disease (COVID-19). PVO izplatīja informāciju, ka COVID-19 pandēmija un tās izraisītie sociālie un ekonomiskie ierobežojumi, būtiski ietekmēs iedzīvotāju garīgo veselību, kā rezultātā pasaulē palielināsies depresijas izplatība, alkohola un narkotiku lietošana, pašnāvnieciski gadījumi. Viena no negatīvāk skartajām nozarēm pandēmijas laikā bija Kultūras un radošā i…
Nurses’ strategies for dealing with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic
2021
Background: In view of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, it is important to study the activities undertaken by nurses to cope with stress. Aim of the study: The study’s main objective was to analyze strategies of coping with stress among nurses working in public and non-public medical institutions in Opolskie and Lubelskie provinces, Poland, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods: The study group included a total of 155 nurses. The Mini-COPE questionnaire and the author’s original questionnaire were used in the study. Results: With increasing age, nurses coped with stress by using their sense of humor less often, seeking instrumental support, discharge of emotions, using psyc…
Conception de documents numériques : Parcours méthodologique
2009
There is a strong social demand for studies of digital document. Yet our models of society and education are struggling to integrate issues related to these types of documents. However, the subject is less than half a century old, and so it is hardly surprising that the writing and training practices are just being developed. Like the book, the digital document involves many different skills and techniques in its development. The list of jobs tends to grow steadily: ergonomists, referencing specialists, information architects, programmers, designers, integrators ... It is therefore difficult to have a global view on all this know-how and the related methodologies. This special edition seeks…
Définir la structure de navigation : quelques outils méthodologiques
2008
On peut distinguer deux niveaux de structuration des documents numériques. Ces deux niveaux correspondent aussi à deux niveaux de découpage de l'information. le niveau «macro» correspond au découpage de l'information d'un domaine en différentes unités d'informations (écrans). Le niveau inférieur, ou « micro » correspond au découpage de l'information en concept sur chaque écran. Par « macro structuration », on entend donc la structuration du document qui n'est pas forcément visible par l'utilisateur mais qui est perceptible lors des déplacements en son sein. L'objectif de cette structuration est de proposer une arborescence, qui corresponde à l'objet du document numérique. Deux principaux ob…
Student experiences of project-based learning in an analytical chemistry laboratory course in higher education
2020
Abstract This study describes students’ experiences in project-based learning (PjBL) incorporated as part of a revised undergraduate analytical chemistry laboratory course. We examined which phases were the easiest as well as the most challenging and what student skills developed during the research project. The research data were collected between 2016 and 2018 via two questionnaires. They were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. One questionnaire focused on the whole course (in 2016–2018, n = 127) of which only the answers on the research project questions were analyzed. The other questionnaire focused on only the research project (in 2018, n = 42). Based on the results of our…
